The Venus is the now iconic shape that brought Faith Guitars to the consciousness of so many players over the years. The combination of a 15' lower bout and a slimmer depth of body looks to classic OM or Auditorium body-shapes for inspiration and makes the Venus the perfect compromise. It is still big enough to deliver a big acoustic performance yet remains small enough for the player to jump around on stage with no problem. Using the combination of Red Cedar and Mahogany Classic Burst models sound as rich and warm as they look. Using a three-tone burst finish based on deep browns reds and amber this finish is intentionally understated and is a personal favourite of Patrick's. The tonal character will have emphasis on the lower-midrange with a beautifully warm vocal nature. The Classic Burst models are bound with Solid Macassan Ebony and use the same high quality timber for the fingerboards headplates heelplates bridges and bridge pins. Faith Classic Burst guitars are complete with a Faith Hardcase.
